This patch removes the potentially allocated ifalias when the (new) given alias is empty.
E.g. when setting
echo "" > /sys/class/net/eth0/ifalias

Hello Stephen,
this patch allows to 'remove' or reset the ifalias by giving an empty alias.
The patch is tested.
Btw. ifalias is a nice idea also for CAN bus people to 'name' a given CAN bus.
Thanks & regards,
Oliver
